    The document contrasts a linear economy with a circular economy. A linear economy follows a 'take, make, dispose' model that depletes resources, while a circular economy aims to keep materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling. The circular economy draws inspiration from natural cycles where waste from one organism provides a resource for another. It maps product lifecycles and aims to design out waste and keep components and materials circulating at their highest utility and value.
